Good looking bear, packer58! Congratulations. It's too bad bear hunting with hounds is a thing of the past come the first of the year here in the Golden State. A few more years to retirement and I'm out of here!

The use of dogs is a thing of the past, I checked the harvest report this morning and the quota has been met. 1,700 bears reported.

My wife and I talk about retiring and where to go often. The politics here can get emotionally draining for us. Where to go though, we can't decide yet. For us, it will surly be a state that has our similar values, more hunter friendly and more conservative as a whole. I can only hope by the time we retire that what we see here in California does not infect other states in the same way as it has here.
